I need some input to see if I'm missing anything regarding getting high speed wired internet to my basement for my son...
The Boy just graduated college and is going to be living back at home and working at my place. He has a nice setup in the basement and is wanting faster speeds for his gaming/VR/whatever. He's currently using the home wifi, getting speeds around 70-80 Mbps.
We get 1 gig from Comcast. I always made a point to harass him about his speed - my machine is connected via ethernet cable to the cable modem, and this is what I get..
The cable outlets in this house are a mess, and it was a big PITA just to get the one outlet for the modem properly connected and tuned. So that's not my first, second, or even third choice.
Router/modem is on the main floor. My leading option right now is to buy a 100-foot ethernet cable, drill a hole from the living room down into the basement, and run the cord from the router, through the hole, to his machine.
Am I missing anything that might be a better solution? Is there any newish tech out there I'm not aware of?
ETA: Would a wifi6 adapter for his machine improve things without having to run cable? I get 500 Mbps on wifi6 on my phone.
